:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I see no particular reason to declare this differently from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UEFA Euro 2012 schedule, since the arguments overall are the same. Sjakkalle (Check!) 19:22, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

It is a totally redundant content fork to UEFA Euro 2008. Every date, venue and result information can be found on this article. There is no meaning to make a separate article for a schedule. Article also doesn't meed the GNG, as there are no independent coverage in reliable sources, which discuss the schedule of this competition. Armbrust, B.Ed.

  • Keep - The competition itself is notable, and a chronological list of the matches (rather than lists of matches by group) cannot be found anywhere else on Wikipedia. – PeeJay 22:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Merge If the chronological list is unique to this article then a merging of this info into the main article as a sub section.Seasider91 (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep For the same reasons mentioned at UEFA Euro 2012 schedule. --Schcambo (talk) 14:37, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - no need for this fork. GiantSnowman 18:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep/merge/delete/whatever as per the results of the Euro 2012 discussion. WP:NOTNEWS means that just because this is less current does not mean it is less notable. Smartyllama (talk) 20:49, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

:*Isn't it just the other way around? NOTNEWS says that our article topics should have lasting notability in the first place, and if it doesn't, it shouldn't exist as a separate article. Right? --78.35.239.12 (talk) 10:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

:** You're right, I think. But WP:INTHENEWS clarifies that "it's in the news"/"it's not in the news" is not an argument for or against deletion. If it was notable when it was in the news (Euro 2012), it's notable now. If it wasn't, it's not notable. Smartyllama (talk) 16:54, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

:***Thanks for clearing that up. --87.79.215.174 (talk) 17:15, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
